Lexham English Septuagint, 2nd Ed

I'm looking at the Lexham English Septuagint, 2nd ed. with Reverse Interlinear. Is there some place I can look at it before I buy it? I would like to use it as a concordance of sorts but with the Greek words instead of the Hebrew so that it connects with the New Testament. Also would there be a training video for this "book"? Thank you for any help you can give.

I don't know of a source of samples, outside what's on the product page (basically the english only). And I don't remember any video. But the LES2 RI works just like an ESV RI; same tools, etc. including the concordance access. Rick (on the forum) is the expert for both the LES and LXX's in general (plus fragments, and so on).

For convenience, below I provided 3 samples and what they're good for. I 'turned on' all the available interlinear lines for each.

LES2: tracks the english translation. Its claim to fame is that it's pretty literal, in comparison to NETS, which often is a NRSV re-copy. Plus it uses Vaticanus straight (from its Lexham LXX cousin).

Swete's LXX: which follows the greek and includes the needed tagging/interlinear lines. A matching Rahlfs is also available (interlinear).

OT Swete LXX with Hebrew. Used by the software to make the hebrew/greek alignments (other choices available).
